Favorite Lucid Dream – Symbolist Surreal Portrait
A dreamlike scene of flight through clouds, painted in oil, tempera, and acrylic on canvas (40 × 50 cm). A figure drifts weightlessly in the open sky, arms stretched as if surrendering to light and air. The luminous layers, fine glazes, and subtle sfumato create an atmosphere of freedom, calm, and inner awakening. The perspective—from above—emphasizes both vulnerability and exhilaration, recalling the symbolic imagery of dreams and transcendence. Blending realism with surrealist undertones, the work captures a personal vision of lucid dreaming, where the boundary between imagination and lived experience dissolves.
